    Shooting the US model 1842 single shot pistol

    I took my original .54 cal, US model 1842 single shot pistol out to the range the other day. I made a short video of the fun.

    I gotta say, that was a well done video! You are a good shot too. I want a video of how you made the cartridges.

    No, there are no reproductions of the Plymouth rifle. It is original. The minies came from TOTW. But I'll caution that that while they are stated as being .685" diameter, they were actually .690". I had to make a .684" bullet sizer and size them down before I could use them.
